Pleurobranchus peroni from Cook Islands

December 2, 2002
From: Sonja Miller

Kia orana Bill,
Is this picture what I think it is - Pleurobranchus peroni? It is from the southern Cook Islands - sorry but we don't have any information about depth, substrate etc... as the photo was taken a few years ago and we've only just dug it out from the files and are trying to give it a name.
Cheers,
Sonja Miller

Dear Sonja,
Yes this looks like P. peroni. I think this is the first message on the Forum from the Cook Islands. Situated almost due south of Hawaii, midway between Australia and South America, the marine fauna of the Cook Islands is of interest as it is at the eastern extreme of what we call the Indo-West Pacific faunal region. Any more information you can provide on the opisthobranch fauna will be very welcome.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
